When you into osu!, first message from every er will be still pale-yellow instead of gold.

Proofs:

Watch Dope, Fennekin, Orteiga. They all had pale colours that changed to er colours.

How to replicate it?
Re and stalk #osu (or any other channel I guess)

Confirming. Also BATs are shown in pale yellow instead of red in their first message.

Been happening a lot lately yes.

Moved to low priority. I've seen this happening for me every day for a very long time now. Nothing big, but I've seen a lot of s talk about it.

No screenshot, but it even happened to peppy a few times. That was pretty shameful-looking

Haven't seen this happening recently. Preeeetty sure it's fixed?

Seems like not, but well, who cares Now I do /o/

Bump, happens, check on screens above.

It only happens when local presence database is not up-to-date (or has been deleted by the ). This is expected behaviour.

Well, most of the people to which I had this problem I've already seen... but well I'll check further

Considering how much trouble the map database gave for huge mapsets, I wouldn't be surprised if the presence database was somehow breaking or losing data too. On the other hand, it usually only happens to one or two names per session, so...
